RDF.ex v0.6.2 RDF.IRI View Source

A structure for IRIs.

This structure just wraps a plain IRI string and doesn't bother with the components of the IRI, since in the context of RDF there are usually very many IRIs and parsing them isn't needed in most cases. For these reasons we don't use Elixirs built-in URI structure, because it would be unnecessary expensive in terms of performance and memory.

The component parts can always be retrieved with the RDF.IRI.parse/1 function, which returns Elixirs built-in URI structure. Note, that URI doesn't escape Unicode characters by default, so it's a suitable structure for IRIs.

Functions

Resolves a relative IRI against a base IRI.

Checks if the given value is an absolute IRI.

Coerces an IRI serving as a base IRI.

The default base IRI to be used when reading a serialization and no base_iri option is provided.

Tests for value equality of IRIs.

Merges two IRIs.

Creates a RDF.IRI.

Creates a RDF.IRI, but checks if the given IRI is valid.

Parses an IRI into its components and returns them as an URI struct.

Returns the scheme of the given IRI

Returns the given IRI as a string.

Returns the given value unchanged if it's a valid IRI, otherwise raises an exception.

Checks if the given IRI is valid.

Resolves a relative IRI against a base IRI.

as specified in section 5.1 Establishing a Base URI of RFC3986. Only the basic algorithm in section 5.2 of RFC3986 is used; neither Syntax-Based Normalization nor Scheme-Based Normalization are performed.

Characters additionally allowed in IRI references are treated in the same way that unreserved characters are treated in URI references, per section 6.5 of RFC3987

If the given is not an absolute IRI nil is returned.

Checks if the given value is an absolute IRI.

An absolute IRI is defined in RFC3987 containing a scheme along with a path and optional query and fragment segments.

Coerces an IRI serving as a base IRI.

As opposed to new/1 this also accepts bare RDF.Vocabulary.Namespace modules and uses the base IRI from their definition.

The default base IRI to be used when reading a serialization and no base_iri option is provided.

The value can be set via the default_base_iri configuration. For example:

config :rdf,
  default_base_iri: "http://my_app.example/"

See section 5.1.4 of RFC 3987

equal_value?(left, right)

View Source

Tests for value equality of IRIs.

Returns nil when the given arguments are not comparable as IRIs.

see https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-concepts/#section-Graph-URIref

Merges two IRIs.

This function merges two IRIs as per RFC 3986, section 5.2.

Creates a RDF.IRI.

Creates a RDF.IRI, but checks if the given IRI is valid.

If the given IRI is not valid a RDF.IRI.InvalidError is raised.

see valid?/1

Parses an IRI into its components and returns them as an URI struct.

Returns the scheme of the given IRI

If the given string is not a valid absolute IRI, nil is returned.

Examples

iex> RDF.IRI.scheme("http://www.example.com/foo")
"http"
iex> RDF.IRI.scheme("not an iri")
nil

Returns the given IRI as a string.

Note that this function can also handle RDF.Vocabulary.Namespace terms.

Examples

iex> RDF.IRI.to_string RDF.IRI.new("http://example.com/#foo")
"http://example.com/#foo"
iex> RDF.IRI.to_string EX.foo
"http://example.com/#foo"
iex> RDF.IRI.to_string EX.Foo
"http://example.com/#Foo"

Returns the given value unchanged if it's a valid IRI, otherwise raises an exception.

Examples

iex> RDF.IRI.valid!("http://www.example.com/foo")
"http://www.example.com/foo"
iex> RDF.IRI.valid!(RDF.IRI.new("http://www.example.com/foo"))
RDF.IRI.new("http://www.example.com/foo")
iex> RDF.IRI.valid!("not an iri")
** (RDF.IRI.InvalidError) Invalid IRI: "not an iri"

Checks if the given IRI is valid.

Note: This currently checks only if the given IRI is absolute.

Examples

iex> RDF.IRI.valid?("http://www.example.com/foo")
true
iex> RDF.IRI.valid?("not an iri")
false
